problems compiling default wxWidgets application
pivica:
Hello everybody,
First of all thanks for codebloks, its really looking promising, but problems never ends :)
I have trouble compiling default wxWidgets application which i get from new project-> wxWidgets application.
I added include and lib directories from wxWidgets 2.6.0 for compiler and linker in build options.
When i try to compile whit MS Free Toolkit 2003 (i added Platform SDK and corresponding directories for include and lib), compilation went smoothly but linker complaint that he can't found ctl3d32.lib. I try to erase that lib from codebloks build option and than linker couldn't find MSVCRTD.lib; i added that lib from ms visual studio 2003 to lib directories from MS Free Toolkit and than i got many of already defined link errors.
I also tried with GCC and i get next error from compiler
--- Code: ---Project : wxWidgets application
Compiler : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)

Version of codebloks is 1.0-RC1
Can anyone help me?

There should be another setup.h avalaible for MinGW somewhere in your wxWidgets install I think...
You could also, either compile wxWidgets by yourself with MinGW/MSYS, or use a DevPak.
zieQ:
Yes, you included the wrong header.
mine is here: wxWidgets-2.6.1\lib\gcc_dll\msw\wx
I compiled wxWidgets from the makefiles with MSVC Toolkit and MinGW with no problem, but you must carefully set the make options of wxWidgets to compile with MSVC Toolkit since it lacks some libraries. Compile only Release versions and you should not have any problem.
To compile with MSVC from C::B without MSVCRTD.lib, you must change the runtime libraries option in the build settings, but it will be a pain. Some advice as above, only release version. Don't know how to cope with the missing libraries of the Toolkit! I proposed an auto-detection of the missing libraries to disable some of the runtime library options but it is not implemented for now. If you have the libraries from Visual Studio it should work anyway. Could you please give the link errors you obtain?

GCC
This time I include right header, and compilation went fine but linker stuck. I compiled wxWidgets with MS Visual Studio 7.1, and it cross on my mind that maybe I can't use GCC with wxWidgets libs that was compiled with MSVC. So I downloaded cygwin and compile wxWidgets with it; after little struggle I manage to compile wxWidgets. Back to CodeBloks, changed libs dir, and tried to rebuild all – program was compiled but, again, linking failed. Here is output:

I don't know those it matter but I didn't downloaded Platform SDK, I used one from MS Visual Studio installation. Then I tried with libs from Visual Studio, and I get identical errors like above.
Finally I compiled release version of wxWidgets with help of MS Visual Studio and give it a try, and again I have got same errors.
Where the hell I mistaking?
Why is so hard to make code::bloks compile wxWidgets applications? I read posts on forum and find out that there are many peoples who had problems whit this issue. When I find code::bloks on internet, couple days ago, and read that it is build with wxWidgets, I thought that compiling and running wxWidgets application from Code::Bloks would be easy thing, but it become very difficult thing.
zieQ:
There still may be some issues with the visual workspace loaders. I didn't try to compile wxWidgets when imported to C::B, so I can't tell you if I'm right or not. May you do not set the libraries correctly, I can't confirm you anything from the log you sent. I would not be surprised if the visual importer did not import wxWidget workspace well. You may check the projects compiler options in the second case to see if there's no two runtime libraries set for the projects (at the bottom of the option list - that addresses the "already defined in LIBC.lib" problem).
However, I have already recommended you to compile wxWidgets from the makefiles and not from C::B, you should try. There will be NO problem in this case, since that what I have done, provided that you set the PATH environment variable correctly to point your compiler directory. Please follow the build instructions shipped with wxWidgets.
